Until recently, principals have been largely overlooked, with most education policy attention focused on improving teacher quality. Principals play an important role in supporting student achievement as instructional leaders.
Today, New America’s Early and Elementary Education Policy Program is releasing a series of briefs titled, Principal's Corner: Perspectives on Teaching and Learning in PreK-3rd Grade, that explore the role of elementary school principals as early education leaders. This series is based on focus groups of elementary school principals conducted in five U.S. cities.
